Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish well with non-stick cooking spray.
Place cut cinnamon roll pieces in an even layer at the bottom of the baking dish (cinnamon side up).
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat butter until boiling, then stir in the brown sugar until fully mixed. Stir in salt and cinnamon.
Toss the wet mixture with diced apples until all apples are coated. Pour the apple mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll layer. Use a spatula to make sure all the liquid from the apple mixture bowl is added to the baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, stir together the crumble ingredients: rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until well mixed. Evenly sprinkle the crumble mixture over the apple layer.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
Let cool slightly before serving. If desired, drizzle with the icing from the cinnamon roll packages or top with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Store any leftovers in a sealed food-safe container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
It is best if warmed again before serving.
Some people enjoy adding raisins or nuts for added texture. You can also spice it up with nutmeg or cloves.
